Figure 1
Tactile Map
Note. The tactile map was created by Steve Lowry. It represents a historic fort with
bold palisade walls and dotted lines indicated pathways to buildings and the
garden.
Through a generous sponsorship from APH, we purchased real objects or
artifacts from the Fort's gift shop. At least one of these items was included in each
student's tactile learning kit. The item sent corresponded with the stations that the
student had signed up for - Bake House, Historic Garden, Fur Store, Blacksmith
Shop.
In the end, with the help of WSSB, our graduate student researchers, and
APH we shipped 362 Tactile Learning Kit to students with visual impairments
across the country.
